What Is Child Orthodontics?
Child orthodontics focuses on guiding the growth of teeth and jaws during childhood and adolescence. Whether your child needs interceptive orthodontics, space maintainers, traditional braces, or clear aligners, our specialists create a plan designed just for them.
- Who it’s for: Kids as young as 7, teens, and young adults who need early correction or ongoing orthodontic care.
- How it works: We use advanced diagnostics and one-on-one consultations to find the right treatment path.
- Why The Smile Spot: Our Midtown practice is known for compassionate, personalized care—especially for children with anxiety, ADHD, or sensory sensitivities.
Treatments We Offer
Early Interceptive Orthodontics (Ages 7–10)
Gentle, short-phase treatment that guides jaw growth, corrects bite issues (like crossbites/overbites), and creates room for adult teeth—often preventing more complex care later.
Space Maintainers
Custom appliances that hold space after early tooth loss so neighboring teeth don’t drift. This helps permanent teeth come in correctly and reduces the need for extra treatment.
Braces (Traditional to More Discreet Options)
Low-profile metal braces or ceramic (tooth-colored) brackets for a subtler look. Precise, reliable results with flexible, family-friendly visit schedules and $99/month payment options.
Clear Aligners (uLab)
Nearly invisible, removable trays designed for active kids and teens. Eat what you love, brush easily, and enjoy streamlined check-ins while your smile steadily improves.
Retainers & Growth Monitoring
After treatment, we provide retainers and scheduled check-ins to protect results as your child grows—because happy smiles should last.

FAQs
Find answers to common questions from our patients
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first checkup around age 7, when early intervention can prevent bigger problems later.
Not always! Some benefit from space maintainers or short-term early treatment, while others may need braces or clear aligners as they grow.
Every child is different. Some early treatments last a few months, while braces or aligners typically take 1–3 years.
